I’m searching for a left handed keyboard like the example below, it can’t seem to find one. I’d love to have a left handed keyboard that is wireless (Bluetooth) and a rotary knob. Does anyone know if there is such a keyboard available for sale?

I searched high and low on this sub but can’t find any. If not, are there any custom builders I can contact?

Appreciate the help. Thanks!

If it doesn’t bother you, I see no reason to change. I dedicate more space on my desk to my mouse than most people, and it pushes my keyboard off to the left side, making it uncomfortable to type on. A tenkeyless brings the main keys closer to the center of the desk.

I wish there were more keyboards designed to be more mouse friendly like this. http://www.amazon.com/DSI-Left-Handed-Keyboard-Black-KB-DS-8861XPU-B-V2/dp/B0009S52X8

Hi all, I’ve been looking for a full left-handed keyboard with the numpad, arrow keys, and keys like insert, delete, page up/down, etc. on the left. The closest I could find to what I want is the DSI left-handed keyboard (https://www.amazon.com/DSI-Handed-Mechanical-Keyboard-KB-DS-8861XPU-B-V2/dp/B0009S52X8), but I can’t stand the sizes of the enter and backspace keys, and I don’t really like how bulky it is + that empty space where the logo is. The other ones I’ve found have just the numpad on the left, but the arrow, insert, etc. keys are still on the right.

Could anyone recommend something that’s this layout or close, or somewhere I could get it done custom? I feel like I’d be getting in way over my head to try to build it myself, and to be honest I would rather not. (I’d use those extra keys for volume control, like my current non-mechanical keyboard.) Thanks!

Don’t know if it’s any good.

Google ‘left handed keyboard’ or ‘southpaw keyboard’

Might be better to buy a tenkeyless and a separate number pad.

Are there any recommendation on a full sized board, but with the numpad on the left side? (example1, example2)

I can’t live without the numpad and I also don’t like the idea of having a separate keyboard for just the numpad. But so far I only found really expensive or discontinued ones.

What you could do is buy any programmable board and just re-program the keys to where you want and move the key caps to the re-programmed keys. Or look for boards like this…

I believe those are your two options.

I’m looking to get a left handed southpaw, call it what you want, keyboard and can’t find any that I like so I’ve decided to modify this DSI keyboard.

https://www.amazon.com/DSI-Handed-Mechanical-Keyboard-KB-DS-8861XPU-B-V2/dp/B0009S52X8

It has Cherry Reds in it currently which I don’t want, and I’m decently sure I’m handy enough with soldering to put new switches into it. However, I’m a noob when it comes to the keyboard world. Can someone tell me if I’d be able to put in Glorious Pandas in place of the Cherry Reds? From pictures I think I can, but I just wanted to make sure before I go and drop ~$100 on switches

Via /r/MechanicalKeyboards wiki:

DSI Left-Handed Keyboard.

Apollo Custom 22Mini-RGB XTD left hand version.

Best bet is probably a 10-keyless and a separate numpad. The
Teroso Modular is an option if you want them to have matching styles.
